Acortatarins A (1) and B (2), two novel spiroalkaloids with a naturally unusual morpholine motif, were isolated from the rhizome of Acorus tatarinowii. Their structures with absolute configuration were determined by spectroscopic methods, X-ray diffraction analysis, and Masher's method. Importantly, compound 1 could significantly inhibit reactive oxygen species production in high-glucose-stimulated mesangial cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner.
